Soul Trigger

Chapter 713 Listen to Me
Although Ji Li had considered the possibility of becoming a part of the "past" timeline when creating multiple self-existing timeline rooms, watching a version of himself from the future come and cause trouble.

But he didn't expect this to happen so quickly.

What will happen if you pull it down?

"Believe me... do you remember the rules of the universal converter? This thing is extremely fragile... it can't withstand the power of the Rubik's Cube at all, it will completely shatter!"

Ji Li looked at Virtue, who, though also somewhat bewildered by the scene, managed a reluctant nod:

"What he said... isn't wrong. We've indeed never tested the consequences of putting a top-tier storable object like the Rubik's Cube inside, not even a fragment of its power. But we have placed derivatives of other top-tier storable objects inside before..."

So, is it going to work or not?

Wilding was drenched in sweat:
"...I don't know, to be honest, I don't know what will happen, after all, this is just a line of thought..."

Ji Li glanced at her other self, who looked tense:
"Let's try it first, and see what happens if it explodes..."

Ji Li, number two, quickly said, "That's why I'm here now! I've already tried and failed for you!"

"...If we don't use this thing, is there a third way?"

Ji Li was asking about Virtue, but Ji Li Number Two answered directly:
"Go and retrieve the remains of the gods!"

What should we do about the little rabbit girl?

"The remains of the gods are products left behind by us. Over time, through emotional immersion and self-evolution, they have become a resting place. If you control them, you will have enough power to subdue the Rubik's Cube!"
As long as we get there before Rabbit Girl gets merged with the Lord of Shadows!

"How many more times the fuck would I have to try? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"because……"

Suddenly, a loud crash interrupted Ji Li's voice as the door was flung open again, and a dark figure leaped out and pinned him to the ground.
Don't listen to him! He's lying!

Upon seeing the newcomer, Ji Li fell silent.

The third one is disguised as the Gravity Judge, and he also holds a universal access card.

"And which timeline are you from, you son of a bitch?"

"That's not important. The important thing is that you absolutely must not listen to him! I've already tried. Bertrand Ludwig from the future timeline has seen through everything. He won't let you take the relics of the gods so easily!"

"What do you mean?"

Why are we talking about Bertrand Ludwig again? Ji Li frowned.

And then, the third Ji Li's mask flashed red:
"If you can stop yourself by creating multiple timelines of yourself and steal the Rubik's Cube fragments, how do you know that others can't stop you in the same way?"
"When you were considering how to maximize your gain of the gods' remains, didn't you already think about this possibility?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Li raised an eyebrow beneath his mask:
It really is……

The universal access card is not hard to obtain. As long as there is a possibility of entering room C-914 in any of the countless timelines, you can get it with just a regular access card.

Then, relying on the universal access card to continuously create rooms containing multiple selves, in order to target and kill a specific being, is by no means impossible.

If two people were to engage in a game of strategy over the remains of the gods in this way, it would eventually evolve into an endless struggle between the two sides, constantly extending the timeline, with countless rooms filled with the remains of the gods, turning into a nearly unending Möbius strip that continues indefinitely.

Ultimately, everything became a dead end.

Whether the Rubik's Cube ultimately succeeds in creating a "universe," the tombstones outside are defeated, or the Tower of Babel successfully takes control of Birmingham and breaks into the vault that has become a new "universe," it doesn't matter.

Ji Li will lose the initiative; he has no chance of becoming the winner.

"The only way is to completely control the Rubik's Cube, to enter the universal converter yourself, and to merge the Rubik's Cube with yourself!"

Upon hearing the solution offered by Ji Li (number three), Ji Li's lips twitched:
"Now you want me to personally sacrifice myself? What about the explosion of the universal converter?"

“I told you, he’s lying, he has ulterior motives. The universal converter wouldn’t break down at this level…”

boom!
With a loud bang, Ji Li turned his head again—

"Don't listen to them! The Universal Converter will explode! I've already tried it! But I've also found a solution: by absorbing the Universal Converter, you can gain the power to convert everything yourself—that's the real solution!" "Damn it, are you ever going to stop…"

boom!
"Don't listen to those three! The Universal Converter can't absorb it at all! The real solution is to find the Bewildered Knight who has arrived in the future timeline, take the Time Fragment from him, and forcibly awaken Felin. She is powerful enough to contend with the power of the Tesseract!"

boom!
"I've tried, but it's no good. It takes too long, and the entire vault is in complete chaos..."

"enough!!!"

Gravity erupted, and spiritual pressure collapsed like gravity.

Wilting, whose eyes were already darting around, instantly knelt down, while the others, including Ji Li, fell silent.

"Isn't it chaotic enough already? I want to do it my way."

A group of Ji Li spoke in unison:
"We are ourselves."

"Fuck you."

With a clang, Ji Li closed the lid of the Rubik's Cube fragment that had been placed inside and turned his head:

"Only I am truly myself; as for you all..."

Ji Li paused:
"I don't know what you guys are, coming here chattering away, but I only know one thing: if you really are me..."

Beneath the visor, the red and blue sensors flashed wildly. In Wilting's trembling eyes, Ji Li abruptly pulled the lever:
"They should have come up and started fighting already, why are you still babbling on here?"

Long——

The universal converter started spinning, and the entire room instantly turned crimson.

The countless Ji Li figures froze for a moment, then revealed eerie smiles before exploding into a sky full of azure light and disappearing completely.

Virtue got up from the ground:
"This is……?"

"The Panic Cube." Ji Li sneered, "This is truly unsettling. Did you obtain that information by spying on the development of various timelines?"
But the only person who truly understands me is myself.

rumble--

The converter stops operating, and the hatch opens after the conversion is complete.

There was no explosion, no anomalies, it was a success in no time.

Ji Li chuckled and reached inside, only to find it filled with a strange, overwhelming sensation.

Smooth, soft and bouncy, I love it.

He looked down abruptly and saw a pair of pale eyes slowly opening:
"Clementine?!"

Clementine paused, then looked up and saw the Gravity Judge:

"……Owner?"

Then she looked at her distinctive nun's habit, and then at her surroundings:
"This is where……"

"The room with the C-914 universal converter! What are you doing here?!"

"I……"

Before he could finish speaking, a dazzling blue light erupted from Clementine's chest, and he threw his head back with a scream.

In an instant, a terrifying azure spiritual energy erupted from her body, and the inverted cross in Ji Lilong's ring instantly broke in two.

Her support shattered!
At the same time, the power of the entire space began to pour towards Clementine, as if it had found a master, constantly surging into her body and transforming her into a new Dead Apostle who controlled spacetime—

But her soul was about to burst, on the verge of collapse.
